No. 1 OKLAHOMA Allan Bower led the No. 1 Sooners to a narrow road win over No. 2 Stanford (Mar. 4), 432.300-432.050 in a down-to-the-wire battle of the nation’s top-two ranked teams. Bower won the all-around (86.950) which helped push Oklahoma to a team mark of 432.300, its second-highest of the year.
